The works of seven students from the International Baccalaureate Visual Arts course at the Sir James Henderson School, will be exhibited next Monday, March 28th, at the Sotheby’s branch of Palazzo Broggi in Milan, with the support of the British Chamber of Commerce for Italy and of the British Council.

The School, founded in 1969 in Milan by British businessman Sir James Henderson, also known for founding the British Chamber of Commerce and the first Rotary Club in Italy, for the second year in a row organizes an exhibition showcasing the artwork realized by the students during the two-year art course.

The young artists on show are: Federica Zambeletti, Clementina Marini Clarelli, Beatrice Guazzi, Marie Bourgat, Jack Vickerage, Tammy Myunged and Edoardo Modenese. The latter, 18, talks about his experience in the art world.

"We are exhibiting the result of a two-year project based on the theme of movement. Each one of us will display 18 works, one of which will be put up for auction. My signature work is made of two paintings that perceive two fragments of reality, two direct moments of an action. The central character is a man who is throwing dice," explains the young artist, who adds: "I am currently working on a three-dimensional painting which features an explosion of colors. I was inspired by an artist I discovered on an art blog."

What is the relation of creativity with the internet and new technologies? "Internet enables us to access any kind of art all over the world; on the other side, though, digital reality confines many works to the digital realm only. Just think of photographs that never get printed. The sensation of experiencing the work of art is lost."

What are the future project of this young artist? "I would like to keep on studying , maybe focusing on the design world. I will surely move to London since my school has opened up several scenarios for me, thanks to its multicultural, free and competitive environment that has given me broad perspectives." In the short term, however, the next commitment is Monday’s exhibition: "I am very excited – reveals Edoardo Modenese – the day after the opening to the public our work will be appraised: for us, this is the final assessment at the end of the course in Visual Arts".

The exhibition will be open to the public on Monday March 28th from 10am to 1pm, and from 2pm to 6pm.
